Monday, and the week

Howdy all, and thanks for checking in. Wow, the kids are already psyched for the Winter Break (and I think a few of them are already on vacation in their minds!). We have a very full week, with much happening. Here are a few things to be mindful of:

- Second Harvest Food Bank Grind Out Hunger Campaign. Today through Friday, students are asked to bring canned and boxed foods to donate to the Second Harvest Food Bank for the holiday season. 1 in 4 children in Santa Cruz County go without 3 full meals a day. Being in the privileged community that we are, it would be great to help those less fortunate than ourselves. They are in need of high protein items like tuna and peanut butter. No perishable goods, or items in need of refrigeration.

- The school is also hosting a coat and sweater drive through this Thursday. The drop off point is located in the front of the school, near Mrs. Dorney's office. Please make sure items are washed before donating.

- The fifth grade has a science exam on Wednesday. They were provided with notes last Wednesday to study from.

- Fourth grade has a science exam on Friday, and will receive notes tomorrow to begin studying from.

- We do not have spelling or vocabulary words this week or next.

- Fifth grade will have a social studies exam next Monday, and will get study guidelines on Wednesday to begin working with. This is a Big Idea Exam, and will consist of three questions that will require paragraph / short essay responses.

Tonight, the kids are responsible for the following:

fourth-
- Saxon 53
- RPB pages 196 & 197
- Monday Folder

fifth-
- Saxon 55
- RPB pages 180 & 181
- Monday Folder
- study for Wednesday's science exam

Respectfully, Mr. Bryant
